Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, leaving the centers soft.
- Cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for the best texture.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips for a more balanced flavor.
